| 2026-07-08 |
| by Dvir Peri [IsraelAlma] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This research examines the updated curriculum (2024–2026) of the “Dar al-Wahi al-Sharif” (دار الوحي الشريف) school network, which is affiliated with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and currently operates as part of the official education system of Syria’s new regime under the leadership of Ahmad al-Sharaa. The research is based on a systematic content analysis of all 65 official textbooks and workbooks used by the network for kindergarten pupils and students in Grades 1–6. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of the network’s educational materials currently available. Since the publication of our previous research in December 2025, which exposed the “Dar al-Wahi al-Sharif” network, the network has continued to expand significantly. Its schools now operate in major provinces throughout Syria, including Aleppo, Hama, Damascus, Latakia, and Deraa, while simultaneously undergoing a process of institutionalization and official recognition under both the Syrian Ministry of Education and the Syrian Ministry of Awqaf (وزارة الأوقاف). Alongside the incorporation of core academic subjects in accordance with reforms in the Syrian education system, the network offers a subsidized and accessible educational track that has become an attractive alternative for many families in light of Syria’s economic conditions.
